Known the world over, the Shelbyville Horse Show is one of ShelbyKY's most popular events. Held annually on the first Wednesday-Saturday in August, the Shelbyville Horse Show is a longstanding tradition for late summer in Shelby County. Shelby County holds the distinction of being the Saddlebred Horse Capital of the World, and there's no better place to see the exquisite breed on display than the Shelbyville Horse Show.
